A Multidisciplinary Team Approach is Required to Understand Larval Metamorphosis in High-CO2 Coastal Oceans
Marine invertebrates have a complex life cycle in which the free-swimming planktotrophic larval forms feed on planktons, accumulate energy reserves, develop into complex phase that is capable of selecting right surface for attachment and metamorphose into a benthic juvenile phase. The transformation of larva to adult is energetically demanding and involves complex physiological and molecular network and changes. Understanding this complex larval metamorphic process at developmental, physiologi... view moreĀ»
